Summer’s End

boatheader

Sorry for the lack of posts, but some of us have been out enjoying the mental end of summer. Yes there are a few weeks left but when the yellow blocks come out and add on fifteen minutes for the morning commute, it’s all over. I had the pleasure of spending my last summer weekend on a boat soaking up the sun and the adult beverages. I saw some sweet wakeboard boats while I was out floating and growing less and less sober. I noticed that boat design has really progressed over the past few years. Colors, forms, and features have really changed with the new generation of buyers coming into play. Who would have thought speakers would become a focal point on a boat?

I did learn a thing or two over the weekend;

1- Boats have gotten really expensive
2- Alcohol consumption never ends while on the water
3- Beer cans do float
4- Pain from tubing takes two days to kick in
5- Peanut butter on Smores is actually pretty good

Here are a few images to check out. Head on over to the Malibu site to read about all the innovation and how to make the biggest wake.
